I am currently working on a lot of things contemporaneously.Meaning.. I have a lot on the go and very little to show for it.

However yesterday evening I stayed up late watching episode 10 of the 1st series of 'ROME' - Julius Caesar's triumph episode to be exact, whilst putting the finishing touches on this maori/totem pole/cat inspired mask for musician and performer Yasmin aka YEWS .. https://www.facebook.com/pages/YEWS/203907893035651>

I am going to quote Lara on this because she put everything I had in mind into words.. she's good with words you see: 'That is truly awesome! Like a hawk-bear hybrid 1980s Hanna-Barbera superhero meets Mexican Wrestler meets Bjork meets Venice carnival! :-D'

all I want to do is make more masks for YOUS! (ok sorry for the bad pun).. and perhaps a couple of matching capes.

Meanwhile (for the sake of continuity and a common theme) here are a few scenes from 'ROME' in which Caesar would have benefited from having this mask:

About Me

This is Maria, conjourer of the part-fictional city of Babettopolis, where old objects are re-invented, the used undergoes transformation and yards of raw material are stored and labeled for eventual projects..
In Babettopolis reigns just about enough calculated disorder to guarantee constant production.
'Time' is what keeps eluding timekeepers in the polis, but 'Incentive' drives them on.
The year is in part devoted to the collecting of 'unwanted(s)' from around the island to be later torn apart and re-worked as seen fit; then sold or given out on a whim.
